The Queen (A Wicked Novella 3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout is live!
Blurb:
From #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the next installment in her Wicked series.
The King must have his Queen….
Bestowed the forbidden Summer’s Kiss by the King of the Summer fae, Brighton Jussier is no longer just human. What she is, what she will become, no one knows for sure, but that isn’t her biggest concern at the moment. Now Caden, the King, refuses to let her go, even at the cost of his Court. When the doorway to the Otherworld is breached, both Brighton and Caden must do the unthinkable—not just to survive themselves, but also to save mankind from the evil that threatens the world.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
My Review:
I love to be back in the Wicked world! This novella was the conclusion to Caden and Brighton’s story that I was hoping for. With the perfect mix of swoon, Tink, and surprise.
One thing I love about the 1001 Dark Nights novellas is that each one can be read as a standalone. They are intended to give you a story so interesting you WANT to go back and read more about the characters involved in them. Honestly how could you not want more Brighton and Caden? Now, if you haven’t read The Prince or The King, don’t fret. Jennifer L. Armentrout does an amazing job catching the reader up on past events, so you won’t be lost, but I highly recommend you read them and The Wicked Series at some point because…the first 2 novellas are the beginning of Caden and Brighton’s story. I feel like the three novellas read as one book…so yeah, definitely read them!
Let’s focus on The Queen a bit. It picks up right where The King left off. This novella focused more on Caden and Brighton working coming to a resolution. Of course, nothing comes easy. There are obstacles in the way, and conversations that need to be had that get pushed aside which cause problems, but Caden and Brighton eventually work it out.
Caden loves Brighton so much. He chose her and it was really wonderful to see. Brighton made a decision I didn’t agree with but understood her reasoning. She and Caden grew so much both together and individually, and I enjoyed seeing them grow into the loving couple they were.
I enjoyed this novella so much! There were so many swoony moments from Caden. Lots of great Tink moments, and one really shocking moment but overall it was a great way to wrap up Caden and Brighton’s story!
